Yes, they are all new in ASP.NET 2.0. You can see an overview of them here:

Looks an awful lot like Dabo's data access model. Controls have DataSource and DataField properties, which map to a bizobj. These are then mapped to a cursor, which serves as a proxy for a specific backend implementation.

Developers don't have to care about that, though. Set your backend type, provide some information about what tables and fields you want, and it just works.
